Not happening. That's all it is---a rumor. A good reporter got a legit quote that Yandle would love to play here. Hardly a shock that a kid whose family is from Charlestown and grew up south of city would want to leave arguably the worst market in the NHL to play for his hometown contender.

But that's all it takes anymore to make news.

He'd be #2 on payroll and, with Hamilton arriving and his offensive potential unknown at this time, I can't see them adding that cap hit to their D.
